Not only did we get to see Italy, we got to EXPERIENCE Italy! The guides, the drivers, the restaurant owners, the planned meals, etc all gave us a feel for the people of Italy. The Italian Treasures Tour covers three very different cities, and we enjoyed exploring each of them. Our guide was fantastic at managing the interests and activity levels of everyone in our group and was a pleasure to spend 10 days with. There was a healthy mix of planned activities and free time, and we never felt like we were being rushed. Nada's Italy provided us with an easy, stress-free way to visit Italy for the first time!

I cannot say enough great things about Nada's Italy and the Italian Treasures tour package. The small intimate group setting is perfect and the VIP treatment provided is above and beyond expectation. We really felt at home very quickly in a country that we had never been too before and our tour leader, xxxxx, was just about the best tour leader we have ever had. The itinerary is jam packed full of history, beautiful scenery, and culture that you instantly fall in love with Italy. There is the perfect mixture of tour time and free time that we never felt hurried or rushed. Nada provided superb meals that really immerse you into the regional cultures of Italy. I can honestly say we will never view Italian food the same again as the meals in America just do not compare to the splendor of Italian cuisine. Really, I cannot say enough good things about Nada's Italy and this tour. We are anxious to be able to return in the near future for another tour.

Alessandro as our tour guide was excellent. We really enjoyed him. He was very tolerant of a bunch of wild Americans. His talks about the History of Italy were very interesting. My wife would adopt him!

Nada is simply the very BEST!!! If you are going to Italy, rather WHEN you go to Italy, work with Nada, why deal with all the planning and details on your own when you can talk to someone who truly KNOWS Italy!!!!
